It's been just 10 months since
former State Rep. Kurt Heise
was sworn into office as
Plymouth Township Supervisor,
following a stunning write-in
campaign victory.
Last week, with less than a
year on the job, Heise
announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for the
U.S. House of Representatives in
the 11th Congressional District.
Heise is the latest declared can-
didate for the 11th District seat
currently filled by Republican
Dave Trott, who opted not to seek
re-election. Other already
declared candidates for the nom-
ination include former State
Rep. Rocky Raczkowski, Rep.
Klint Kesto and former Trump
co-chairpersonLenaEpstein.
“My background makes me
qualified to serve. I'm throwing
my hat in the ring. It's a once-in-a-
lifetime chance,”Heise said.
“We all know Washington isn't
working. It's become a swamp of
greed and gridlock that hinders
the American Dream. Politicians
on both sides refuse to do their
jobs and we get stagnation
instead of solutions. I can't sit on
the sidelines and watch this con-
tinue,” Heise stated in a pre-
pared release.
In May 2016, incumbent town-
ship officials fueled in part by
dark money Political Action
Committees (PACs) succeeded in
having Heise's name removed
from the local ballot based on an
omission on a filing affidavit.
Heise then mounted his write-in
campaign and easily defeated his
opponent for the supervisor's job.
Heise garnered strong grassroots
support from local residents who
banded together to support and
campaign door-to-door for him
throughout the township.
Many of those past supporters
are unhappy about his decision
to leave the $101,000 annual job
they worked to help him win.
Some are saying he's an ambi-
tious politician seeking power
with no regard for the supporters
who trusted his campaign rheto-
ric and promises to dedicate
himself to managing Plymouth
Township.
“I love this job (supervisor)
and I keep my promises. If you
look at the platform I ran on,
we've re-established a relation-
ship with the city and Northville
Township, look at the Five Mile
Corridor. It's been a year and
we're already seeing terrific
results,” he said. “I'm township
supervisor and I'm running for
office, just like Calley, Schuette
and Colbeck who are also run-
ning for office. I'm not guilty. If
you're a state representative, like
I was, you're always running for
office. I'm also an elected official
who's running for office,” Heise
said last week.
One of Heise's arguments to
critics promotes the benefit he
claims the township might real-
ize should he be elected to serve
in congress.
“It would be great to have a
congressman fromWayne County
who calls PlymouthTownshiphis
home. It would be great to get
someone in Congress from
Plymouth who understands the
local problems, like the train
delays and the Northville landfill
situation.” The former state rep-
resentative is the first candidate
to enter the Republican race
from Wayne County. The district
includes parts of Wayne and
Oakland County and has an esti-
matedpopulation of 710,000.
Heise said he is aware of the
other declared candidates for the
nomination and that he under-
stands even more candidates
could join the race.
“I know there's a lot of compe-
tition. It's the first time the seat
has been open since 1992, he
said. “I didn't force Trott to retire,
the timingwas unexpected.”
Plymouth City Fire Services, in cooper-
ation with Huron Valley Ambulance will
offer a free class in pet cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) training.
The training will take place at
PlymouthHeadquarters - 1260 Gold Smith
